Seems the story is in the sun as well.

If we were to sign him and Balotelli, surely that would end any interest in Dzeko and/or indicate a move to Madrid for Tevez? We can't keep Drogba, Ade, Balo and Tevez/Dzeko all happy can we?

Cole, Yorke, Sheringham, Solksjaer. We should have 60 games.

I would worry about this. He's 33 yars of age or something.

without Drogba, 3rd or 4th, with Drogba 1st or 2nd.
Like him or loathe him, the man is a beast.
Personally I loathe him!

Top player but I would much rather go for somebody younger. If Chelsea sell they will replace him with a younger top player, Torres?

Chelsea will be a rival in a year or two, I don't want us to give them money to revamp their squad. It doesn't matter how good Drogba is right now, long term it's not the right move imo.

If we did get him it would pretty much guarantee top 2.

Hmm if we bring Drogba and Balotelli that would be perfect.

Johnson----Tevez------Silva
------Drogba----Balotelli----

Using Ade in rotation?

OR


Johnson-----------------Silva
--------Drogba---Tevez-----

Using 2 midfielders Yaya/De Jong/Barry/Ireland

Rotating the strikers depending on who we're against, Europa games, injuries, form...

Re: Talks with Drogba?

As Mancio has said he will rotate the squad, I can see it being:

-----------------De Jong/Yaya-------------

Johnson/SWP--------------------Barry/Bellamy

----------------Silva/Ireland------------

Drogba/Adebayor----------Tevez/Balotelli

Sorry but Monday nights is my dominoes night = plenty of Guinness = making a twat of oneself !!!!!!!!!!!!!
However, on this occasion I have suddenly become more alert and the fact that we would even contemplate signing Drogba, for X amount,instead of a superb 19 year old = I`m now sobbering up !!!!!!!!!!!
Any responsies = 6/7 hours from now, after a couple of Anadin and a cold Coca Cola plus a wonderful fry up.
Common sense may prevail, but I feel some of you will still be in a more pissed up state than me !!!!!!!!!
Why would he want to move from London to Manc ????????????

Who says it's instead of Balo?

I think this could all be another Terry or Eto'o. Trying to get one last contract out of Chelsea.
